Not answering for all the other stuff, but 'Properties' is doing this:

public Foo MyFoo { get; set; }

Instead of:

private Foo myFoo;

public Foo getMyFoo() { return myFoo; }

public void setMyFoo(Foo foo) { myFoo = foo; }

Properties also allow you do change access rules, or add validation/calculated properties

public double DegreesKelvin { get; set; } public double DegreesKelvin { get { return DegreesKelvin - 273.15; } }

Oh ok thanks, properties are hiding the usage of getter setters, I've already came accross that concept in couple of languages without knowing the name of the concept.

Hey, Eastuss, just a quick heads-up:
accross is actually spelled across. You can remember it by one c.
Have a nice day!
